Some of the players kneeling claims they were "praying" for the country? Ok, but isn't it still disrespecting the anthem if you're not standing? With clarkgriswold, it's old and tired already.
As we all know the NFL is a business, and players bringing attention to themselves this way, while representing their teams is just a bad look.
I fully expect the NFL to do one of two things if this continues.
1. the players, coaches and staff will be in the locker rooms during the anthem, then will come on the field after the opening game ceremonies.
2. the anthem simply won't be played during the game. I don't know how much it's done now, but there are probably random fans who don't stand during the anthem, some talk or do other things as the anthem is being played.
Stay tuned...

Do you EVER try to understand ANY viewpoint other than your own?
I'm sure that you would say "Of course I do", right?
Well then, please explain what -- in your view -- these players could be trying to communicate by their actions during the national anthem.

cabez has vast amounts of knowledge on the money he was asking for. I'd ask him.

He wants too much. He wants more than he's worth to any team at this point.

Pete Carroll says Kaep is "a starter in this league". He worked Kaep out when Seattle needed a back-up, and did not sign him. I wonder why ? Do you think Carroll was worried about media scrutiny if Kaep was on his roster ? Do you think Kaep thought he was going to beat out Russell Wilson ?
